500 delegates from
157 countries
his year, the International
Society for Knowledge for
Surgeons on Arthroscopy
and Arthroplasty (ISKSAA)
ventured overseas to hold the first
ever ISKSAA conference outside of
India in the 15-year history of the
event. The annual ISKSAA Congress
was hosted at Cloth Hall Court in
Leeds Beckett University and saw
surgeons travel from across the
globe to discuss the practice of
arthroscopy, knee and shoulder
surgery, joint replacement surgery
and orthopaedic sports medicine
over two days.
ISKSAA was looking for a unique
alternative to London and took a
series of site visits with
ConferenceLeeds, the conference
bureau for Leeds, prior to choosing
their destination. Once they had
chosen the city, ConferenceLeeds
supported with venue choice; using
their expertise and knowledge of the
events’ requirements to select Cloth
Hall Court at Leeds Beckett
University, which became an ideal
venue not only due to it’s facilities
but also because of its secure
academic roots.
The conference took the form of
plenary workshops, exhibitions and
live surgeries, which were held in
multiple workshops across the
venue. Delegates were able to
experience planned live surgeries
from across the world, including
America and Europe, covering a
number of surgical procedures.

Delegates were able to share
knowledge, hear about new
opportunities for working, and to
discuss topics including medicine,
new surgical developments and
patient aftercare.
The main objective of the
conference was to demonstrate
Leeds’ strength as a unique
alternative to London, and the
well-connected nature of the city
combined with the strength in the
healthcare sector helped to ensure
a successful event for the
delegates, organisers and the wider
city.
This event also highlighted Leeds’
strong connection with India,
following an Inward Investment
mission to the UK in March 2018 as
a result of a partnership between
Leeds City Council and Yorkshire
Asian Business Association (YABA).
